The curated collection of nine pieces is united by [bold colors, eye-catching prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/femininity-in-bloom) and uplifting styles that came together as part of a year-long paid intern program that kicked off in 2020. Inspired by artist Vernon Panton, the interns created a collection with 60s influences, fun florals and a hand-drawn motif created by an in-house design intern who has since been promoted to a permanent assistant designer position. Styles in the collection include a kimono sleeve jumper, a jumpsuit with adjustable straps, unbleached jeans and a [matching denim overshirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit). With this collection Hush will be putting 20% of the profits from sales towards the Creative Futures Programme. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Intern-focused Collections:** More brands can showcase their interns' works through creating a collection that could potentially bring in more profits, recognition, and opportunities. - **Bold Colour and Prints Trend:** Fashion brands could adopt bold color and print trends in their own collections to attract younger generations and give new life to classic 60s influences. - **Sustainable Creative Futures Programs:** Incorporating a sustainable initiative in a brand's program like what Hush is doing with their Creative Futures Programme can aid in creating a positive brand image and sustainability while also giving back to the community. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion companies can create opportunities for interns to explore their designs and concepts, while also possibly selling their creations. - **Retail Industry:** Retail businesses can tap into the younger generation by incorporating bold color prints and designs in their merchandise. - **Sustainability Programs:** Institutions can recognize the importance of supporting and helping interns through sustainable programs like Hush's Creative Futures Programme. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaborative Circular Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heron-preston-1.md) - [Executive Workwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12th-tribe-x-corporate-natalie.md) - [Youth Intern Social Stunts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intern-social-stunt.md) - [Whimsical Ethically Made Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iclothing.md) - [Modern Occasion-Focused Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-plus-one-edit.md) - [Viral Oversized Waistband Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfinished-apparel.md) - [Conscious Consumerism Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/or-collective-and-h-project.md) - [In-House Seasonal Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hs05.md) - [Curated Workwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petal-and-pups.md)
